0:08.0	And I welcome you to the final episode of our series this week. Our series is all about
0:16.9	gentle self-care. It's been a little harsh these days, these months, and we're not sure when it will let up.
0:29.0	So as you have gone through this series, I hope that you will discover some ways that you could ongoing give yourself some self-care. In fact, I am sharing a gentle self-care
0:48.8	guide with you. It's the everyday guide to gentle self-care over on Instagram and Facebook. I actually got access to
